What is the effectiveness of treating herpes with brilliant green?

Herpes is a viral disease that manifests itself as a rash on the mucous membrane or skin of the lips. Although the disease is common and common, it still requires complex treatment. You should find out whether it is possible to smear herpes with brilliant green, because traditional medicine advice recommends doing just that. Such recommendations are explained by ease of use and minimal risk of side effects. However, official medicine claims that the opinion about the effectiveness of this substance in the treatment of herpes is too exaggerated.

Symptoms of herpes

The clinical picture of the disease depends on the type of pathogen and the location of the affected area. Infection with all strains of herpesvirus is characterized by redness of the skin or mucous membranes and the appearance of blisters. Pain and burning may be felt in the inflamed area. But you can’t puncture the blisters, as this will worsen the course of the disease.

After two or three days, the bubbles begin to burst. In their place, ulcers form. The affected area on the lips is covered with a crust, and on the mucous membranes it is filled with fibrinous tissue. If antiviral treatment is not carried out, the disease will reappear when immunity decreases.

Often, when the disease occurs, the body temperature rises to 37–38 degrees. Therefore, in everyday life it is often called a cold. But herpesvirus is not the cause of acute respiratory diseases. Treatment of labial herpes with cold remedies is ineffective. It is necessary to determine the type of herpes virus and undergo a treatment regimen prescribed by a doctor.

Herpes lips

Infection with herpesvirus type 1 often results in blisters on one or both lips. A day before their formation, the patient may feel general weakness. The bubbles burst on their own on the second or third day. Instead, a crust appears that cannot be peeled off. It disappears on its own after seven or ten days.

In the eye area

The herpes virus can cause inflammation of one or both eyes, as well as the eyelids. Touching this area with unwashed hands often causes damage to this area. Symptoms of the disease are:

• pain or stinging in the eyes;
• increased photosensitivity;
• redness of the mucous membranes;
• formation of blisters on the eyelids.

Advanced herpes in this case is dangerous. Complications of the disease can cause complete loss of vision and the formation of scars on the eyelids. When the first symptoms of eye damage appear, you should immediately consult a doctor.

Herpes face

Lesions may occur on the forehead, chin, both cheeks, the back and tip of the nose, and on the ears. Often the affected area appears where there have already been microtraumas on the skin.

In the oral cavity

Inflammation of the mucous membranes of the oral cavity is called “herpetic stomatitis”. This disease in children is accompanied by gingivitis (inflammation of the gums). When the bubbles with liquid burst, erosions are formed, covered with a whitish coating. Redness is observed around the erosion zone. A person experiences pain while eating and brushing his teeth.

Genital herpes

The disease affects the pubis, buttocks, genitals and anus. Clusters of bubbles with liquid inside appear on the skin. The area around them turns red, pain, itching, and irritation appear. Genital herpes is transmitted through barrier-free sexual intercourse. The cause of infection can be touching the groin area with unwashed hands.

Reviews

It does not dry out the skin and speeds up the healing process. When using Fukortsin, linen and clothes get dirty less than when using brilliant green.

The rash is very itchy and itchy. If you scratch it, you can get infected and get many unpleasant consequences, the simplest of which are welts and scars. To avoid this, the chickenpox rash is lubricated with antiseptic drugs, which help reduce itching and speed up the healing of damaged skin. Such drugs include Fukortsin.

Classification of herpes viruses

Researchers have identified 8 strains of herpesvirus that can infect humans:

• First. Causes inflammation of the lips and mouth (labial herpes). In rare cases, it can cause genital rashes.
• Second. Affects the genitals and groin area. Causes genital or vaginal herpes. Less commonly, it is the causative agent of oral herpes.
• Third. Causes chickenpox and shingles.
• Fourth. Known as Epstein-Barr virus. Causes mononucleosis, lymphomas and carcinomas.
• Fifth. Cytomegalovirus. Causes mononucleosis, hepatitis, herpetic retinitis.
• Sixth and seventh. Roseoloviruses. They cause roseola, exanthema. May be one of the causes of chronic fatigue.
• Eighth. Causes lymphoma, Kaposi's sarcoma, Castleman's disease.

The causative agent of herpes simplex is herpesvirus type I or II. There is a misconception that the disease cannot be cured. In fact, herpes is curable. Although modern medicine cannot completely remove the virus from the body, it is possible to suppress its vital activity so much that it stops causing inconvenience.

Causes of exacerbation of herpes

When self-treating herpes, there is a chance of relapse. Incorrect selection of a course of therapy suppresses the virus temporarily. The occurrence of relapses is provoked by the following factors:

1. Re-infection after interaction with a sick person.
2. Reduced immunity.
3. Prolonged hypothermia of the body.
4. Exposure to direct sunlight.
5. Microtraumas of the skin and mucous membranes.
6. Physical fatigue, lack of sleep.
7. Nervous overstrain.
8. Women have menstruation.

Most people infected experience relapses once or twice a year. With weak immunity, relapses are possible 5–20 times a year. This is how recurrent herpes type 1 manifests itself, treatment of which is possible only under the supervision of a doctor.

What is better - brilliant green or fucorcin?

Zelenka or fucorcin for chickenpox?

Let's try to figure out which is better.

The basis of both brilliant green and Fukortsina is aniline dye. The action of both drugs is similar. However, there are also differences:

• brilliant green can be applied to rashes in children from birth, and Fukortsin - only after a year;
• Fukortsin contains more ingredients, which means there is a greater risk of allergic reactions;
• despite the more persistent coloring, Fukortsin washes off more easily and stains clothes and linen less than brilliant green;
• Fukorrcin can be washed off with baby cream, calendula alcohol solution, vegetable oil, etc.

Diagnosis of the disease

The presence of herpesvirus in the body can be detected using various methods. We list the effective methods that are used in our modern laboratory:

1. Polymerase chain reaction. Allows you to determine the DNA of the virus in the taken material.
2. Linked immunosorbent assay. Detects the presence of antibodies that are formed in the body when infected with a virus. The stage of the disease can be determined by the concentration of antibodies.
3. Immunofluorescence reaction. The biomaterial is treated with an active substance that makes the antigens glow.
4. Cultural technique. Sowing biomaterial on a nutrient medium. Studying the development of the virus under a microscope.
5. Serological analysis. Detects class G and M antibodies and their avidity. Often used to diagnose genital herpes. The biomaterial is blood taken from a vein.

With any diagnosis there is a chance of getting a false positive result. An accurate diagnosis is made after several studies.

Composition of the medicine

Zelenka (scientific name “diamond green”) is an effective antiseptic common in the former USSR. It looks like a liquid alcohol solution. Used to lubricate damaged skin areas or those affected by infectious diseases. It does not have an irritating effect, which allows it to be used for children and newborns. The antiseptic consists of the following components:

• ethanol (alcohol);
• water;
• synthetic dye with antiseptic action.

Zelenka for herpes does not cure the actual infection with the virus. The presence of ulcers is an external manifestation of the disease. This means that cauterizing them with any means does not in any way affect the main cause of herpes - the presence of a virus in the body. The substance acts only on the outer layer of the skin. It is also impossible to stop the course of the disease by cauterizing the affected areas with an antiseptic.

Use a disinfectant. This is due to the characteristics of the herpes rash. Herpetic blisters have the ability to spontaneously open, forming ulcers. Their presence allows dangerous microbes to enter the body, which cause more dangerous diseases. The antiseptic has a strong antimicrobial effect. Zelenka dries the affected skin surface well and helps with chickenpox (and chickenpox is one of the types of herpes).

Treatment methods

There is no single way to quickly cure the virus: herpes occurs differently in different people. The treatment method depends on the strain, location of the affected area and other factors. At Polyclinic +1, doctors select a suitable herpes treatment regimen for each patient. Comprehensive treatment of infection with drugs prescribed by a doctor gives quick results.

Creams and ointments

The most popular drug is Acyclovir. It is available in the form of a cream or ointment with an active ingredient content of 5%: Acyclovir-Sandoz, Zovirax, Acyclovir-hexal. For treatment, it is better to use creams rather than ointments. Creams are better absorbed into the affected areas. The drugs must be applied to the affected area five times a day for seven days.

Despite its prevalence, acyclovir is considered an obsolete drug. It copes poorly with relapses of the disease, eliminates symptoms, but does not suppress the virus inside the body. In 30% of patients, treatment with acyclovir does not produce results.

A more modern drug is penciclovir. Fenistil Pentsivir is manufactured on its basis. This cream contains propylene glycol + cetomacrogol. They accelerate the penetration of the active substance into the skin. Only 0.2% of strains are resistant to Fenistil Penciclovir. The reproduction of the herpes virus stops on the second day after applying the cream, making the healing process faster. But the drug has a drawback: it is not suitable for children under twelve years of age.

Pills

When a treatment regimen for herpes in adults is drawn up, drugs can be prescribed in tablet form. The use of potent tablets is permitted for the treatment of adolescents over twelve years of age. When treating young children, parents should use the Viferon ointments and suppositories listed above.

The action of acyclovir in tablets is similar to the action of the ointment of the same name. The tableted drug is inexpensive and available in almost every pharmacy. It is approved for use in the treatment of children under twelve years of age.

Valaciclovir is used to synthesize acyclovir. It is contained in the drug Valtrex. When the tablet enters the body, valacyclovir is converted to acyclovir. This technique increases the concentration of the drug in the body. The effect of taking valacyclovir can be compared with intravenous administration of acyclovir. It is suitable for people with normal immunity.

Famciclovir is the most effective medicine for herpes. After administration, famciclovir is almost completely absorbed and quickly turns into active penciclovir, which allows you to get rid of symptoms and suppress the activity of the herpes virus. Famciclovir is contained in the drugs Famvir and Favirox. A single dose of three tablets is allowed to quickly stop inflammation. Famciclovir is suitable for adults with weak immune systems.

Folk recipes

Traditional recipes help eliminate the symptoms of the disease, but do not fight the herpes virus as the cause. Here are examples of common recipes:

• Apply lemon balm essential oil to the affected area every two hours.
• Lubricate the area of ​​inflammation with Kalanchoe juice three times a day.
• The affected area can be lubricated with crushed garlic cloves three times a day. If garlic causes a burning sensation, you should choose a different recipe.
• A mixture of bee honey and apple cider vinegar, taken in a ratio of 1 to 1, can be applied to the inflamed area. Treat the skin three times a day.

We do not recommend treatment solely according to traditional recipes. To eliminate symptoms and suppress the activity of the herpes virus, use medications prescribed by an experienced doctor.

• Fukorrcin can be washed off with baby cream, calendula alcohol solution, vegetable oil, etc.

Treatment of herpes virus by a specialist

The symptoms of herpes can be similar to those of other diseases. For example, genital herpes can be confused with other sexually transmitted diseases. The cause of inflammation in the mouth is not only herpetic stomatitis, but also aphthous stomatitis. In this regard, when the first signs appear, you should consult a doctor for an accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Treatment of all forms of herpetic infection in our clinic “Polyclinic +1” is carried out by highly qualified dermatologists, venereologists, and gynecologists. They will conduct a thorough diagnosis and prescribe effective therapy with modern antiviral drugs. An integrated approach helps not only to suppress the activity of the herpes virus, but also to increase the body's defenses and achieve stable remission. When treating herpes during pregnancy, our doctors always take into account the possible risks to the fetus.

Attention! Self-administration of medications can be harmful if the diagnosis is made incorrectly. If you self-medicate incorrectly, you can harm your health by starting the course of the disease. To avoid relapses and complications, you should take medications under the supervision of a doctor.

Prevention methods

What is herpes - it is a viral disease. It is transmitted by using other people's things, kissing, and unprotected contact. Preventive measures are aimed at preventing infection with the virus:

• Wash dishes thoroughly after other people.
• Do not take other people's towels, combs, toothbrushes and other personal hygiene items.
• Women should not use other people's lipsticks, glosses, or balms.
• Avoid touching your face and groin area with unwashed hands.
• Damage to the skin must be treated with disinfectants.
• Take vitamins regularly to strengthen your immune system.
• Avoid unprotected sexual contact with strangers.

When in contact with people who have visible symptoms of herpes, the risk of becoming infected is higher. But even if a person is a hidden carrier of the infection, he can become infected. Therefore, you need to follow the rules of personal hygiene.
